Have you tried any ayurvedic herbs? They seem to help when nothing else
will. Jess

Sheesh, I just took my first 1/2 Tramadol. Absolutely had to have
something. Quit the oxycodone and hydrocodone a couple weeks ago after
anxiety and depression, but Aleve and Tylenol just didn't do much for the
pain I'm still having at night 8 weeks after partial knee replacement
surgery. I don't take anything during the day except my usual 200 mg.
Celebrex which I haven't been able to do without. I took Ambien to help me
sleep four nights and knew that couldn't go on, so last night I tried
Benadryl which is the sleep ingredient in Tylenol PM. It didn't do a thing,
even though in normal times it knocks me out. I slept two hours in all
during the night (three more later in the a.m.) Had my checkup today and
the doctor said everything looked great. He said that I might be more
sensitive than many, but that it's not a bad thing since the more sensitive
ones achieve the perfect range of motion that some never achieve. I now
have great range of motion, but HAVE to get some sleep! I've tried all
these natural things that are said to help and nothing has. Lemon balm,
L-theanine, fish oil, bromelain, curcumin, magnesium, etc. And forget SAMe!
It seemed just like an SSRI antidepressent and had the same tooth grinding
and insomnia-causing traits.
